We reprint the following article from
a religious paper published at Rich
mond, Va. We make no comments
except to say, it may be comforting to
the friends of Senator ingalls,:
''What has the North done in dealing
with the South? 1t is always express
ing its establishment that the South is
not full of gentle emotions for the
brotherly sentiments expressed at the
North. What more do they want? has
been asked over and over again. No
conquered people was ever treated SO
pleasantly.
No blood was shed after the war,
but far more cruel measures were
adopted measures which are bearing
their bitter fruit today. There is a
great deal of foolish talk about 1.-The
New South and The Boom in the
South" but the truth is that in this
part of the South where we write, such
restitution and poverty were never
known as in this year 1887. Nor is
this the worst; the Northern people,
for party ends, gave the negroes of
South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana,
universal manhood suffrage-the race
in these states outnumbering the
whites In other words, it turned
these Southern communities over to
the blacks. In Virginia they cOnsti-
tute tWo-fifths of the voters, and by an
easy combination with a fraction of
whites, readily obtain the control of
the state. 1t is thus that our debt has
been partly repudiated, which the
white people are constantly tainted
with at the North.
1t is not true that the South is pros
porous, although different representa-
lions have been made. The distress in
the rural districts of Virginia at this
moment is appalling, and the outlook
for the future, as intelligent men, dark
in the extreme. And more even than
this, the social and political confusion,
arising from the pressure of the negro
as controlling factor in our politics.
is so haraSsing that the most stout
hearted contemplate the situation with
dismay. 1t is under these circum-
stances that Eve are 3Oolly told, You
must take more of this physic: so far
it has worked well"-when if half a
million Of Chinese voters were turned
loose in New York tomorrow, they
would be put to the sword before it
would be tolerated.

Hard on the Johns.

Kansas turned out one of the biggest
crankS on record to feed on carriOn in
the political pasture of mugwumps, in
the prohibition god, John Peter Saint
John. A man whom all Kansans
should despise, a traitorous, migrate
full wire-puller. And why was it? Be
cause st. John was petted and Toasted
and made to believe he was larger than
the Republican party. And SO this wood
en-headed poppy-cock arose in his
might and split asunder his relations
with that grand and noble body, the
Republican party. And Mr.. John j.
ingalls, is fast following the Saints
footsteps. There is but one man
larger than the Republican party, and
that occurred by accident. Miltonrale

A Talk With Governor Click.

Ex-Governor Click, of Kansas, the
only Democratic governor ever elected
from that state, is at present in Wash
ington fer few days, and is staying at
the Metropolitan hotel He is here
merely on vacation he says. He is
now the United States pension agent
for the district embracing Kansas,
Missouri, New Mexico, the Indian
Territory and Texas. His office, in
Topeka, Kan, distributes between
$4,000, 900 and 5000, 900 year among
about 100000 pensioners.
II hardly hope'' said he to Post re-
porter yesterday, that the Democrats
Of Kansas will be able to repeat next
year their performance of 1882, when.
by peculiar combination of circum-
stances, they elected Democratic gov
ernor and defeated st. John. But the
Democrats are gradually gaining in
the state. Their day is coming. The
whole German vote, which is very
large, is now Democratic. l think the
Democrats in the state are unanimous
in favor of renominating Mr.. Cleveland.
The bad taste and bad sense of some
people who have been disgracing the
Grand Army of the Republic will not
take a vote away from him. When he
was elected the Democrats of Kansas
believed Cleveland to be the best Dem
ocrat in the country, and their estimate
of his qualities have been increasing
eyer since. Washington Post.

There is a Middle Course.

Mr.. Randall is too intelligent a man
and too good a democrat to hold that
there is no middle ground between a
tariff of As per cent, covering 1000
articles, and free trade. And yet the
tone of his recent letter is calculated
to leave this impression. We are as
much in favor of all legitimate and
needed protection to American indus
tries as Mr.. Randall is, but we hold
with the democratic platform that
unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa
tion," and believe that a judiciously
made reduction of 20 per cent. in the
present tariff, as promised four years
ago, would leave the duties high enough
for both revenue and protection. 1t is
neigher logical nor fair to cry free
trade at every man who is opposed to
perpetuating forever a surplus-produc-
ing war tariff.-N. Y. World

Some of the Republican papers con-
tinue to say that the Democratic papers
are making a fight against the g. A. K.
The charge is false and the papers
making the charge know they lie.
Democratic and good many Republi-
can papers condemn few cock
growing crankS ill the organization, a
few would be leaders. The rank and
Gle of the G. A. r. are patriotic and
Union loving citizens, and as such,
have always commanded the respect Of
The press without regard to party.

Burlington Independent: Bradford,
the windy Aleck who is wabbling
around in the attorney-general's chair
of Kansas, writes letter to a gentle
man in Texas in which he says prohi-
bition is a grand success, and that
there is not place in the whole state
of Kansas where liquor can be OBJ
tanned. If he tells the truth in that
letter why is he advertising to the reo-
pie of the state that he will imnedi
ately proceed to Kiowa and close VI
the Joints? Mr.. B. is cheerful liar.

Mr.. Blaine is swinging around over
Scotland and England, taking part in
unwilling monuments to the memory of
departed monarchs. We prefer Buffalo
Bills career on British soil. 1t is more
in keeping with a patriotic American.
BY his orders, the band connected with
the wild West'' plays the 'Star
Spangled Banner every day in the
week. William is thoroughly demo-
cratic. but when Blaine strikes Irish
soil he will kiss the blarney stone, and
proceed to turn the crank of his taffy
mill, for it is thus written upon his pro-
gramme.

Ed. Greer, in his Winfield Courier,
sings Kansas praises in the following
strain: Another blessed rain last
night. Kansas is indeed a fortunate
state. The smiles of Him who COM
mands the showers are surely directed
full on this glorious section of the
country. Just as it has been needed
this year, the beautiful showers have
come and their effect will be felt in
Kansas in years to come. While other
states are dry and burning up, drOuthy
(?) Kansas is fiourishing like a green
bay tree with abundance of fruit, and
any amount of rain. No need here tU
have prayer meetings for rain, it comes
just when needed, and can do the most
good. Happy, happy Kansas; thy lot
is indeed a pleasant one, AID thy peo-
pie among the most blessed on earth. >

1.-The Abilene REFLECTOR thinks
because there were only 81 kegs and Is
cases returned last Saturday night
from Salina to Kansas City that Salina
is lying about her population. The
REFLECTOR should remember that
there are two express trains each day,
and that a common mode of shipment
is by freight in car load lots. On one
freight train passing Junction City last
Saturday morning there were four beer
cars. Junction City Union.
The four cars passed on through here

The president is beginning to develop
a fine sense of humor. He was a tribe
sarcastic, too, when he told the people
of Fayetteville how the panther had
frightened him when boy, and added:
'But have heard so much bowling for
the past two years that l do not think
the panther would brighten me now"
And he might have added: 1.-The chief
howlers have gone to Europe for rest,
| am still on deck."-K. G. Times.

it was competent for the Assessor to

was competent for him to determine that

"You will perceive from the report that
telegraph lines of the Western Union

The difference is ridiculous. Telephone

You have no right to omit to collect the
tax upon personal property, except IN
the case mentioned in section oS2O.
Except in the city of San Francisco,

hair, which curlcd all over ITS head and
soft blue eyes which had not been closed
even In death. Seventy FIVE miles across
the country that ranchcr had carried the
dead baby In his arms. talked with him
and heard his story. II was like this: A
year or more ago he had begun a corre-
spond'nce with young woman In Chi
eago, getting her address from n matri-
monial paper The result was an ex-
change Of photographs, AMI finally
marriage. Tho girl went 10 1.-Two with
him on his ranch, but the lonely life
there did.not suit the city girl, and a few
weeks after the birth OF her babe she ran
away TO Chicago, leaving husband and
enid behind her. There was no woman
on the ranch. and the rough father did the
best he could to rear the child. have no
